Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo investigate the feasibility of laparoscopic approach for totally mesocolic resection and D3 lymphadenectomy in right colectomy.
METHODSA retrospective study was conducted to analyze the operating time, blood loss, lymph node retrieval, postoperative complications and converting rate. The relationships of 3-year disease-free survival (DFS), 3-year overall survival (OS) to gender, age, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score, body mass index (BMI), T-staging, N-staging and TNM classification were also analyzed by Kaplan-Meier surviving curve and Log-rank test.
RESULTSA total of 111 patients were enrolled in present study. There were 50 male and 61 female patients. The average operating time was (168 ± 42) minutes, blood loss was (81 ± 63) ml, lymph node retrieval was (30 ± 12). The converting rate to open surgery was 1.8%. There was no death within 30 days after operation. The 3-year DFS and 3-year OS was 86.5% and 93.7% respectively. The short-term complications occurred in 17.1% of the patients, including diarrhea (7 cases), ileus (3 cases), urinary infection (3 cases), wound dehiscence (2 cases) and so on. With the T staging progress, DFS and OS in patients showed a gradual decline, but the difference did not reach statistical significance (P > 0.05). TNM classification had relation to DFS (χ(2) = 6.985, P = 0.030), while N-staging showed significant relations both to DFS and OS (χ(2) = 14.397, P = 0.001; χ(2) = 16.699, P = 0.000).
CONCLUSIONLaparascopic approach to right hemicolectomy with complete mesocolic resection and D3 lymphadenectomy is safe and has satisfied oncological outcome.
